forces. ISCAR's GRIP line products provide
the required rigidity and versatility. The user-
friendly insert clamping concept that doesn’t
have removable parts, generates very high
gripping forces that secure the insert in the
tool pocket even when cutting directions are
being changed, i.e. the tool is able to perform
face grooving, right- and left side turning and
profiling operations (without vibrations) and
to leave a smooth and shiny surface. Also, to
efficiently evacuate chips from the complicated
cavities, ISCAR provides a wide variety of
chipbreaking geometries that split chips
into small segments and enables quick
chip removal.

As a short tool life means a high number of
machine stops, i.e. – inefficient machining,
ISCAR has proven that the use of its Jet HP
concept, which brings a high pressure coolant
jet right to the cutting zone, has delivered much
improved life per cutting edge. In addition,
the Jet HP coolant method contributes to an
efficient chipbreaking process. Automotive
manufacturers’ timeframes for launching new
platforms and models become shorter every
year, therefore OEMs continuously pressurize
Tier 2 and 3 suppliers with demands for ever
shorter delivery times. Although the majority
of ISCAR's automotive projects are designed
at its headquarters, the company’s logistics
coordinator pays special attention to the
requested lead times. ISCAR has production
facilities all over the world, and in many cases,
for the manufacturing of special tools in the
shortest possible time, ISCAR chooses a facility
that is closest to the customer's location.

In addition to the time and logistics aspects,
this concept brings many economical
